Is the smart charge port enabled? sounds like a parasitic drain.
Something else to try is disabling fast start up. It doesnt really start any faster with it on and it dumps the memory and kernel to hyberfil.sys, same as it does with hibernation.
Go to control panel>power options>Change what the power buttons do on the left pane>Change settings that are currently unavailable then untick turn on fast start up. When you shut down nothing is dumped to hiberfil.sys (saves space on your drive too!) and it loads from scratch every time instead of reloading problems.
To rule out onedrive you can right click on it and click close one drive before shutting down. it may be synching when you go to shut down but that shouldnt cause your battery to drain.
Thanks for the answer. I didn't find any settings for smart charge port in the BIOS. I looked everywhere. - Anyway. I had no problem for 1 1/2 years and then out of the blue this problem happened. I did not change much or anything at all that might cause this.
So I am about 90% sure this is caused by OneDrive being shut down on when it is still syncing. When I decide to 'Shutdown Anyway' there is a good chance that the battery will be flat next day or actually in a matter of hours. I never had it when I close OneDrive before I shut down.
It is not the only OneDrive bug. When the battery gets low OneDrive stops syncing. Which is fine because for some weird reason the battery drains noticeable more with OneDrive syncing. Anyway - If I stop syncing or OneDrive itself stops syncing I still get the message that OneDrive is syncing and I can't shut down even if the battery is like 1%. It's silly in my opinion. The only way to shut down proper is to shut down OneDrive beforehand.
